How did modern English develop from Old English?
It went from Old English to Middle English to today's English. Old English came from proto-Germanic (the long-dead language that gave rise to today's Germanic languages). Proto-Germanic came from proto-Indo-European, which is the ancestor of most of the languages spoken in Europe, India, and some nearby areas. Before proto-Indo-European, presumably people kind of grunted and pointed at stuff.
